Play Dough

Supplies:	4 Cups Flour
	1 Cup Iodized Salt
	1 3/4 Cups Warm Water
	Food Coloring or Paint Powder

Mix flour, salt, water and food coloring or paint powder together, then kneed for 10 minutes to make Play Dough. To make your child's creations permanent, bake at 300F degrees or air dry for a few days. Paint or varnish figures. Store unused dough in plastic wrap or airtight container - lasts about a day.

Play Dough You Can Eat

Supplies:	Bowl
	2 Cups Powdered Dry Milk
	2 Cups Smooth Peanut Butter
	1 Cup Honey

Mix ingredients together in a bowl. Make animals, people or anything else. Your creation can be decorated with raisins, coconut or other treats, but must be eaten. They are delicious, but don't eat too much (as I did) or you get a stomach ache!

Sand Art

Supplies:	Bowls or Trays for Sand
	Colored Sand
	Baby Food Jars (with Lids) or Baby Bottles

Insert wick in jar. Make sand art with different colored sand, leaving about 2 inches of room at top of jar. Melt wax in disposable tin can - we suggest putting wax in the disposable can, then placing the can in a pan containing water. Gently boil the water until wax becomes a liquid. Adult pours wax in jar making sure the child is a safe distance away.

Great gift idea for Holiday Tables and Gifts.
